Colonnade Hotel, Grade II listed hotel in Little Venice, London, United Kingdom
The Colonnade Hotel is a Grade II listed property in Little Venice housed within two connected Victorian townhouses. The rooms feature modern furnishings including Egyptian cotton linens and complimentary Wi-Fi, while the original architecture of the 19th-century buildings remains intact.
The building started as private residences in 1865, converted to a school in 1880, and later served as a medical facility. In 1935 it took on its current role as a hotel, allowing the Victorian structures to serve new purposes.
The building displays original Victorian architectural details such as tall windows and period cornicing that guests encounter throughout the public areas. Many visitors notice how these 19th-century elements create a sense of stepping into a different time while staying in the present.
The hotel sits across from Warwick Avenue Underground station, providing convenient access to London's center and Paddington Station. This transport connection makes it straightforward to reach other neighborhoods and explore the wider city.
Mathematician and computing pioneer Alan Turing was born in this building in 1912. Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud visited the house during a summer stay in 1938.
